Becca Koetz will be discussing permaculture, offering valuable insights into sustainable living. What is permaculture, you ask! It’s a design system that seeks to mimic the patterns found in nature, creating harmonious and resilient ecosystems. It focuses on sustainable living and aims to meet human needs while minimizing environmental impact.

Becca will delve into topics such as sustainable food production, water harvesting, and energy efficiency, providing practical tips for individuals and communities to reduce their environmental impact. By understanding permaculture principles, one can learn how to create more self-sufficient and ecologically sound living spaces, contributing to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
